And all I'm saying is Star Tours II isn't really adding to the MGM attraction count, since it's been there for 20 years. << That's true that it is only an improvement, rather than an addition. I'm just hoping it's a refurb of the quality of the HM.

Then bumping into other sweaty, smelly bodies is just not my thing.

I am hoping they shut them all down, so I don't decide to give one a shot ... there are insecure losers at TDO that REALLY don't like me. I kind of feed off it like the tears of fanbois.

Why is that? (though Thursday was a killer as I drove 177 miles to work at 5:00am and then drove home again that night after client meetings rolling in at 10 - gotta love a 354 round trip day commute.

I was really relieved last year, for 4 months I had a 42 mile each way commute every day. That was great. Alas, a short gig. When I was doing the HIV prevention gig in London, it was a 4-5 hour a day commute, but at least that was trains.
